Of course, what Romney meant was that Palin's entry would split the nutty vote and pretty much guarantee him a nice, bland coast to the nomination.

Why should he have to say it. Everyone already knows a Palin run would help Romney. Of course he's for it. Asking Mitt Romney if Sarah Palin should run is like asking a mouse if the streets should be made of cheese. Why is this kind of drivel being written, and why can't these reporters think of anything better to ask someone running for president.

Anonymous sez : "Palin’s entry would split the nutty vote" .

Absurd. I'm going to allow (your welcome) the intellectualy lazy amongst us to continue to allow themselves to be PLAYED by the media for a while longer.

Palin will be our next president. She's infinitely more qualified than ANY of the current crop of candidates - bringing 20 years of verifiable accomplishment along with the most thorough vetting of any candidate in our history. Palin's been exactly who she is today - since day one. Again , all easily verifiable... all totally vetted by our state-run media and all EASILY discovered by anyone who honestly wants to know facts and not silly rumor.

Take your time on this America ..... no rush.

72% of Republicans don't want Palin to run contrasted with 100% of Democrats who wants her to run, and 0% of Independents who want her to run.

She's quite possibly the candidate with the highest negatives in history, despite her few rabid (and equally brainless) supporters.

Your article fails to mention that in that same poll palin has gained over 40% vote from the Key Independent block. Bia article as always. Palin 2012

Independents wrote:

The only independents that would vote for Palin are the Democrat-liening independents who want her to run since she'll be electoral roadkill.

Not that she would quit before the end of the campaign, like she's pretty much quit midstream on pretty much everything else in her life.

Really hate to say this but like Palin and Romney, I have to tell the truth.
If it came down to Obama, Perry or Ron Paul and no other choices, I would vote for Obama......
At least Obama never said he agreed with Vicente Fox's dream of Open Borders with the US........
In Perry's speech in 2001 he said he agreed with Vicente Fox's dream of Open Borders with the US..You can call his office in Texas and ask them.
He sold out to Hispanics to get their vote..(he gave away the house) all on the tax payer's dime.
He made appointments to high office's in Texas to Hispanics that in no way should have been made. He did the same with those that donated to his campaign.
As we speak Perry is talking with Hispanic groups and making deals.

So Sec. is the best thing that ever happened and Perry wants to abolish it.
Palin and Romney said So Sec. is a great program and just needs a fine tune.
The same with Medicare...

The thing is, Obama get a second term, he will not have to answer to voters again because there is no third term.....Even if the GOP get control of the Senate and keep the House, Obama can and will do major damage to this country......He will be able to make appointments to Court, etc,etc, etc.

The safest bet in the General are "Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney" to beat Obama.
24,000 emails and Palin comes out smelling like a ROSE.
Palin's foe's have uncovered every rock and pebble and found Zilch.
Romney foe's have uncovered every rock, if he gets the nod they will look under the pebbles
and he will come out clean for sure.

Perry, Christie, Trump would go straight to jail, if they look hard...

This is not political correct but the truth, we must not allow more illegals in or stay in this country.
These uneducated Whites, Blacks that are legal have a unemployment rate of about 40% ~ they must have these jobs that the illegals are taking. Google: "Carol Swain" and read what she said about the subject.

This country needs and must have to survive the smartest of the smart. We must keep these students that graduate with PhDs and degrees. We must found a way to keep them. Already China has made the fastest computer in the world.
Because of the unions in this country we can no longer compete with other countries in manufacturing. Look at Seattle Trash Haulers not long ago went on strike, it was not enough that they make 110,000 per year, they wanted more ~ Google it.

You see the companies that are going bk because their products are being made cheaper in China, etc..

Palin said some time back that she has plenty of time.
She does because of her name recognition. (if she jumps in, it will be a bonanza for the media)
Because she is Sarah, she will be afforded millions of free media coverage..(think of her bus tour)

Palin said she would make announcement soon. so that's another month..
She said she and Todd feel bad for the boots on the ground working to help her.
She hates to keep them hanging but she has to do what she has to do...
Keep in mind that she did not ask for any help but she said, it makes her want to run all the more.
She said she is truly appreciative for what people are trying to do for her........

We all know she has her own business that she must tend to.
Once she throws her hat in she can no longer work for Fox or do her speaking engagements..

So what ever she has to do, we will support her........What we can do now to edge her on is to support her..

Hope she runs and picks Romney as her VP...
Sheriff Joe to replace Janet at Homeland Security.
Jeff Sessions to replace the crook Eric Holder.
Herman Cain, Mark Levin, Carol Swain, Allen West with her somewhere.

First thing when Sarah took office as Gov she said she wanted to see first hand what her troops needed.No other Gov did that during war time like Sarah....

I question the sanity of someone who would want to see Sarah Palin as president of the United States. I can't be any more clear than that. I wonder what such people value, what their standards for leadership are, who they admire, what they want for the future, and, truly, how much they really understand the world. I know Sarah won't win, and won't run, but the fact that she has so many admirers is both stunning and deeply dismaying.

You Libs are so passe' it pathetic...Don't you get it, Palin won and you lost.
Watch the film that just came out on Pay Per View called the Undefeated. (if your mama will give you the money)
You Palin haters think Sarah will take away your mental disadvantaged Gov cks. It's not true, she will let you stay on the tax payers dime.

Palin is not and will never be presidential material. She will not run. Notice how Palin is never interviewed by anyone save Faux News. She is too uneducated, petty, hatrful and sensitive. Her misstatement about Paul Revere's ride, for instance, put an end to her bus tour. Her speech after the Arizona shootings was a window into her soul and everyone saw that there was nothing there. She couldn't even finish out her job as governor, and would not carry her home state now if she were nominated. People that think that she has anything on the ball are just plain stupid.
